Brandon Case Honored for Outstanding Poster Presentation

2017 Dec 1

Brandon Case recently won a poster award at the North Eastern Structural Symposium (NESS) at the University of Connecticut on Oct. 28.

Case, a PhD candidate in molecular biology & biochemistry, received an Outstanding Poster Award for his work, "Coordinated Actions of Four ATPase Sites on UvrA2 During Initiation of Nucleotide Excision Repair."

Case researches the mechanisms of action of DNA replication and repair proteins with Manju Hingorani, chair and professor of molecular biology and biochemistry, professor of integrative sciences. Hingorani's DNA Lab investigates proteins responsible for DNA replication and repair. These proteins maintain genome and cell integrity, and their malfunction leads to cancer and other diseases.
